"See, girls fall in love pretty much every single day of the week and so do boys. Sometimes they make the right decision, sometimes they make mistakes. It's called being human," Mehreen Kasana said in her An Open Letter to Maya Khan on the blog.

"But trust me, they don't need a team of middle-aged women hounding them down in public places to enlighten them about their decisions. And trust me, their mothers will handle whatever happens. No one asked you or anyone else to take the responsibility of scrutinising them," Kasan wrote.

Comments in response to the blog are largely against Khan's decision to accost couples in the park.

"This is open violation of public privacy and human rights. What's the big deal if I want to go out to have a private chat with my friend or my girlfriend peacefully in a park? These kind of shows must be banned," posted a reader.

Some criticised Khan for not donning a veil before deciding to indulge in moral policing.

"Just suppose if Maya were in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, she would be punished for not wearing veil, thus if someone is herself/himself not perfect, so how they can change society. Dating is part and parcel of our society from decades and it cannot be eliminated in this way," read another comment.

Others compared Khan with another TV anchor, Meher Bokhari, whose diatribe against Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer was blamed by some for his assassination by a police guard.

Ever since the show was telecast last week, a petition has been signed to take Khan off air.

Others have made public a video on YouTube that shows Khan singing and dancing with a man to expose her "hypocritical ways".
